Let’s Talk! Can You Really Be Friends With An Ex? by seunlly(m): 11:54pm On Jun 04, 2017 |
Is it possible to switch off every romantic feeling you have had towards someone, and instead have a platonic relationship? I would like you to think long and hard before you answer this question. If you were in a committed relationship for years and honestly thought it was going to lead to both of you spending the rest of your lives together, and then you break up for one reason or another… would you be able to stay friends with such a person, knowing the deep feelings you once had for each other? Would you hold on to a piece of them or let it go completely? A recent conversation with a close friend of mine had me pondering over one question. Could I remain friends with an ex? This friend of mine, who I shall call Kay is one of the nicest and most humble people I have ever met. We went to the same secondary school in Nigeria and instantly struck up a good friendship. We were inseparable and anywhere you saw me, she was never far behind and vice versa. . . So Tell Me: “Can You Really Be friends With An Ex?” |

I'm still friends with all my ex ,they tell me things happening to them, they seek advice about their current girlfriends but recently it's affectng.my relationship, my guy thinks when you call someone your ex, u have nothin to do with each other again. He believes the feelings might come back. I reasoned with him and I cut contacts with some not all cos they still wanna be my friend. |

I think I would avoid being friends with an ex to avoid relapse. It's not advisable. It might delay the process of moving on. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Its not advisable but its okay. |
Re: Let’s Talk! Can You Really Be Friends With An Ex? by Nobody: 1:55am On Jun 05, 2017 |
Go and check my most recent threads on Romance land. It is not advisable to keep an ex as a friend. You can say hello whenever you bump into each other but as a friend. It is a no-no. Speaking from experience. After she insisted on being friends after breakup. Already banged my most recent ex like 5 times last month alone including an all night action before I had to block her on all social media, even her number is barred on my phone. 1 Like |

I don't welcome the idea of being a friend with an ex especially the one you love so much & you don't even have a vivid explanation to how the both of you part ways.I do avoid my ex like a plague either to build the trust in my present relationship or her own to prevail smoothly. 2 Likes |

Yes... I am still friends with my ex and she still advice me whenever I am having a little issue in my new relationship... She has moved on though... Distance has been our issue so we had to end it |
Re: Let’s Talk! Can You Really Be Friends With An Ex? by Nobody: 6:54am On Jun 05, 2017 |
Nope. When we break up, I don't know you. Break ups usually don't happen just because. The reason we break up, is the same reason why I will want nothing to do with you ever again. I'm not friends with any of my exes because of that. Why would I wanna have an untrustworthy liar as a friend? If he's not good enough as a BF, then he's not good enough as a friend in my book. |

Re: Let’s Talk! Can You Really Be Friends With An Ex? by Nobody: 7:47am On Jun 05, 2017 |
seunlly: Was just giving an example why I'm not friends with some. The reason for the break ups were different but none were pleasant, hence I can never be friends with an ex. Even if he was "good", I still wouldn't be friends on the grounds of wanting to keep my baggage light & not really caring about them anymore. |

I'm friends with all my exes and I enjoy it a lot... It comes with a lot of benefits, not necessarily sexual |
Re: Let’s Talk! Can You Really Be Friends With An Ex? by cuvox(m): 7:55am On Jun 05, 2017 |
of course. just cause the relationship didn't work out doesn't mean I should throw you in the trash. As long as that ex doesn't pose a threat to my relationship, we are good to go |
Re: Let’s Talk! Can You Really Be Friends With An Ex? by Nobody: 8:05am On Jun 05, 2017 |
No, I cannot. Friendly Exes have a great tendency to develop into friends-with-benefits anytime you're hard-up for company (since technically it wouldn't add to your body count), and that would complicate things going forward. And even if they don't, there would be trust issues to navigate with the new guy if the ex is still hanging around. It's baggage best done without. I break off cleanly. And permanently. |
